Fodor's Expert Review Splendid Hotel

Just steps from crystalline Lac d'Annecy, overlooking a lovely canal running through Annecy's Old Town, this nicely renovated hotel has all the comfort and charm you could want plus the best location possible. Spacious rooms are cheerful, bright, and spotlessly clean, with ample bathrooms and all the amenities—minibars, flat-screen TVs, and Wi-Fi connections. The English-speaking staff couldn't be more helpful and will happily direct you to the best local restaurants. The prices are just about unbeatable, too. Reserve early, as this is a hot ticket.
